This was surprising to see from someone who supported Trump.
Conservative media icon Dave Portnoy is demanding consequences after a disturbing breach of military secrecy involving top Trump officials and a left-wing journalist.
A major controversy is unfolding in Washington, D.C., after The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg published damning screenshots from a private Signal chat that included key members of President Donald Trump’s cabinet.
According to Goldberg, National Security Adviser Mike Waltz invited him into the secure Signal group—where top-level military strategies and attack plans were being openly discussed. Also in the chat were Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Vice President JD Vance, and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.
🚨 Leaked Military Plans Discussed in Signal Chat
Goldberg’s report confirms that the group considered launching a strike against the Houthi rebels in Yemen, with detailed timelines laid out by Secretary Hegseth. The leak raises red flags about America’s national security protocols, even under a strong Trump-led administration.
In a follow-up move, Goldberg released uncensored screenshots of the chat—showing real-time discussions about a potential military operation.
💥 Portnoy: “Mike Waltz Has to Go”
In a viral video posted online, Dave Portnoy—founder of Barstool Sports and a prominent voice in conservative circles—expressed outrage over the breach.
“I don’t like calling for people’s heads over simple mistakes,” Portnoy said. “But this? This is national security. And someone has to take the fall. That person is Mike Waltz.”
Portnoy made it clear: while loyalty is important, this kind of mistake can’t be swept under the rug—especially not by those entrusted with America’s most sensitive intelligence.
“You can’t just add a Trump-hating editor from a leftist magazine into a private chat with the highest-ranking security officials. That’s not a slip-up. That’s a disaster,” he added.
⚠️ Trump Team Responds — But Critics Demand Accountability
The Trump administration has so far dismissed the story, questioning Goldberg’s motives and credibility. However, the leaked screenshots tell a different story—and many conservatives believe this controversy cannot be ignored.
This incident is a major test for President Trump’s leadership team. Accountability, integrity, and operational security must remain top priorities in today’s dangerous world.
